Try Spotless on Netflix, its superb
Hi Guys
I have just finished both seasons of Bloodline on Netflix and it was superb so tense and well acted but I need another good one to watch that is gritty and well acted so it will obviously be American as our good British dramas are few and far between and I prefer US dramas.
I have seen House of cards which was superb so any recommendations would be great.
Thanks
Try Spotless on Netflix, its superb
Watched "happy valley" Andy?
Stranger things, narcos and peaky blinders are all very good.
Lilyhammer is great but possibly an acquired taste and Gotham is supposed to be dark and a good watch but I haven't seen it.
Theres a fantastic short series called Resudue that I absolutely loved. Sinister.

'Marco Polo' is great, not sure if it's hestoricly correct but it's good entertainment.
Another recommendation for Narcos. Whilst I'll assume you have seen Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul - these are both absolute musts.
I have, took me a while to realise it was Raquel from Corrie!Originally Posted by alexaff
Another vote for Spotless. Nice twist on the London based gangster thing.
Also enjoying Narcos at the minute as well. Overall less drama than others being part documentary but all the more disturbing for it.
If you don't mind a bit of brainless fun then a big vote for Jessica Jones which I really enjoyed as a different take on the superhero series'.
Finally, if you've not seen Fargo the series that was also a cracker. At least series 1 was.
Can I just redirect you to this thread which has run for a while and has a lot of good suggestions.

In meantime even if you don't like comic series normally Jessica Jones is fine but Daredevil 1 and 2 are superb and far more a crime/gangster drama than trad comic book .... it's very far from the Avengers
Hi Al I haven't but I just struggle with British dramas even though she will be great in it there are always other bit part actors that are so bad I can't watch them!
Funny thing is I did start that last night but only watched around 15 minutes and it hasn't grabbed me but of course it is early days I just got to the part where his brother turns up.
I saw Fargo series 1 and loved it I also saw Jessica Jones and quite liked that as for Narcos we did watch one episode but then didn't continue with it.
Just watched Stranger Things and thought it was superb as for Peaky Blinders I know it is popular but again we watched one episode and it didn't grad our attention enough to carry on (fussy sod aren't I)
I have seen BB and Saul and loved them both and Saul was just genius.
We are watching Dexter at the moment and really enjoying it. We are up to season 5 and no sign of losing steam yet.
Thanks for that link although it isn't just for Netflix and I might get excited about something and realise it isn't on Netflix and as for Daredevil I thought is was fab :)
I'm a big fan of Steve pemberton and he's in it so I might be biased.
Give it a try mate, it's a good watch ;)
Happy valley is on my next to watch list. :)
BRAQUO
French crime drama...awesome.
3 seasons....
Have you seen 'Marcella'?
I had the first two seasons on DVD and loved it.
Something I didn't realize until I re-watched Breaking Bad:
+1 for Stranger Things.
Started it last night with the better half. Got through two of the eight episodes and didn't want to go to bed. Gripping stuff.
Detectorists.
Good shout!
Just got to the end of series one of Dexter and very good so far and I think 8 seasons
Power ain't bad
I watched four seasons. It just got a bit tired for me
Obvious choice alert. Breaking Bad? I enjoyed Narcos.
I saw a fair bit of Dexter but I agree it did get tired and I stopped watching it but I loved BB :)
Dexter got pants at the end should of ended at season 4

No, but I'm on it!
Its not on UK Netflix yet but is supposed to be coming soon. It's by the bridge folks isn't it?
Don't think so - at least not the same production company or writers according to IMDB.
What about The Fall, seen that? (it's on Netflix France, but so is Marcella)
Is 'power' on Netflix? If so watch that it's really good

Is using a VPN to watch US netflix illegal? I did it ages ago and the choice available blew UK net fix out of the water
Netflix don't like you doing it, and have made changes to their software to try and prevent it. Many people suspect that the 25% buffering problem is due to these changes.
Stranger things is worth watching.

OK. I justified it in my head by saying I pay my monthly subscription so it's not like I'm doing anything too naughty.
I was a massive Dexter fan until the last series, really wish I hadn't watched that!
I really liked Generation war on Netflix. Ww2 from the German POV. Only three episodes and it's subtitled, but highly recommend giving it a try.
No problem, hope it helps...
I know it isn't all Netflix but there are lots of good suggestions some I hadn't heard of before reading them..
+1 for Peaky Blinders and Marco Polo
Also I've started watching a series called 'Power', enjoying it so far!
Not directly Netflix related but Homeland will return for a few more series;

It's already been mentioned a few times but I recommend 'Stranger Things'. I'm about half way through and its superb, 80s nostalgia (E.T/ Goonies), good story, great music and brilliant opening credits.
Just watched Stranger Things and absolutely loved it :)
We've recently enjoyed Bloodline. Sissy Spacek as the matriarch of a dysfunctional family and Ben Mendelsohn is wonderful as Danny.
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Mississippi grind is a good film Eddie if you like Ben Mendelsohn.
Just watched that Eddie and we thought it was superb very languid.
just started watching 'Touch' on Netflix, about an autistic kid who uses the fibonacci equation to see things around him, a bit like Numbers and person of interest mixed into one.
Keifer Sutherland and the kid from Gotham put in good performances.
Based on the weekend's news, I think that making a murderer has got to be worth another watch.
What does everyone else think?
